Jennifer Venditti of Massachusetts was on vacation at the Grand Floridian resort with her son earlier this week when she snapped photos of him playing on the same beach about a half-hour before Lane was attacked. She recently shared the images, along with a poignant message, in a post that has gone viral.

Jennifer took the photos of her son, Channing, wading in the Seven Seas Lagoon at around 8 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday night, according to the Daily Mail. At approximately 9:20 p.m., Lane Graves was snatched by an alligator.

"I can't help but wonder if we played with [Lane], did I talk to his Mom?? How does one go home without your baby in tow?" Jennifer wrote. She ended the post with the hashtag ‪#‎judgelesspraymore‬, a call for more prayers and less judgment of the Graves family.

It seems the majority of people are offering sympathy for the Graves, however. On Wednesday, YourTango editor Tom Burns expressed empathy for "the dad who lost his son at Disney" in an open letter:

We want to believe we can do anything to save our kids — but sometimes we can't. I read about how you fought the alligator, how you dove into the
water to save your boy, how you injured your hands fighting with the
eight-foot-beast. And I, regrettably, know how the story ends.

You did everything you could.

Other parents are sharing photos of their own children at the Disney resort, in the same exact spot where the 2-year-old was attacked, as a show of support and solidarity, BuzzFeed reports.

Even users of Reddit, where anonymity can foster an atmosphere of harsh accusations, even for internet standards, are coming to the boy's parents' defense. Redditor Liberteez shared one of the most up-voted comments on a thread discussing the incident:

It's not a swamp. It's a lagoon by the priciest hotel resort with artificial beaches with cabana's by the shore and shallow wading areas and sailboats and water skiiers.

The sign says don't swim, not "dont' walk along the shore in a couple of inches of water" or even "stay back x feet from water". Disney says no attack like this has happened at the Grand Floridian before.

If Disney didn't anticipate it, why should the parents have anticipated it?

The comments come at a time when, as PopSugar's Rebecca Gruber writes, "the online world appears to have lost all sense of compassion for each other. Where's the sense of solitude or genuine concern we usually show our fellow humankind?"
